I would like to make users notified if they are referenced through a CCK user reference field called "assigned to user" or "subscribe to this content".

So something looks up the email and notifies them whenever the node is updated or has comments. Anyone know what I need for this?

you'd need a module that checks on submit on all or selected user reference fields and if the value has changed send an email to the saved address (you wouldn't want to get an email everytime the node is changed).
And possibly a field on the user profile page if the user wants to be notified...
Haven't seen anything like it yet but sounds like a good idea.

i have it send notifications for any content a user touches (this is for a project management portal we made with drupal) - and then I made a vocabulary called "notifications" and put the names of our staff in the dropdown so that you select who you want to be notified when that content item is updated. Then under my account you select your name. While this doesn't work for everything, I suppose this will serve my purposes.
